Another paradise worth checking out in spring is the One Hundred Mile Azalea Forest, also known as the Baili Dujuan Scenic Area, in southwest China's Guizhou Province, is the largest, most diverse and best-preserved primitive azalea forest in the world. Over a million tourists flock to the scenic area each spring to see the riot of color.

My favourite city! you will have a lot of fun in Chengdu! It is very different from Chongqing, Chengdu is more laid back. Food may fit your taste since it is not that spicy. There are a lot of of things to explore, you will like it!

I was in Chengdu 5 years ago - it is great to see Pandas and how they take good care of them - while it was hot outside for us, Pandas had air conditioned enclosures Even as a vegetarian, I enjoyed the Sichuan cuisine. A friend of ours from Chicago area brought traditional clothes for her 3 daughters - she asked my daughter, niece and even tour guide (all in 18 to 24 age group) to dress up with these and had a photo shoot. My best day with my daughter

[@AlinaMcleod]

That’s awesome!

[@SuhandiWijaya]

The panda alone is already worth visiting in Chengdu, but Chengdu itself has way many places to visit and things to do which make it a must place to visit in China. And Chongqing too since they are close together.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Absolutely!

[@peterwilliams7335]

Watching your vlogs of your trip to China has been one of my regular daily activities. Thanks so much for your efforts and time spent in making these videos.

Ah, what a fabulous compilation of videos of China by Alina. They are all fantastic and unique in their own way, but if forced to pick only one, this one would have to be my favourite. It had it all: Pandas (of course), a sumptuous, somewhat intimidating hot pot shared with locals, decidedly beautiful cosplay that few other than Alina could pull off, and last but not least, the dubious, mercantile Coupling Corner. Simply epic.

[@AlinaMcleod]

The coupling corner is interesting, strange at first, but after given some thoughts, I like it. Here in the US, it's hard to find someone to date or get married to, were so busy all the time. It's like online dating in a way, but more up and personal, which I like more. It's not for everyone, I think most people still prefer to find someone randomly in person, like it's always been, but I think it's great to have other options available in finding a partner.

You missed the other colour form, the brown and white panda, which is a variation from the more common black and white panda. As a true bear, its at the opposite extreme from the polar bear Both hypercarnivores and hyperherbivores exist in the same family and the panda is an example of the latter! Your visit to Chengdu to see them, was a dream come true! 😊

I was so impressed with this video and to see the major changes this park has done. I visited 20 years ago with my two children who loved spending time with the pandas. It was more or less an educational center, and it was not developed. In addition, the tour company thought it was odd that I wanted to visit here. 😅It's so nice now and even there were no crowds when I visited. My children wore plastic aprons and hugged the Panda on a bench. Now it's a proper amusement park full of guests. It was lovely. Thank you for the video that brought back such wonderful memories for me.😊.

Just come back from Chengdu, it is one of my favorite city in China. You must go to the Panda Center, there are also many minorities in the city. The streets and sidewalks are broad, the river and air are clean. There are also many old but active Buddhist temples, traditional and modern theaters. Many Universities campuses. the Modern subways can take your way out of town and see the new development. It is a less crowded city in China. The weather has been lovely in the spring!

What is a trip without a good meal. (A good hot pot) Interesting trip but nothing like walking across a sky scraper roof or the rock formations at the Chinese National Park. Interesting all depends on what you enjoy as an individual person. Personally, I would like to see the different varieties of bamboo and how it is used for every day items, construction techniques using bamboo, & the process of making cross laminated bamboo building sheets. ( kind of like an Asian ply board made from bamboo)
